Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

6.17.1 Description

A fully connected society is expected in the near future. The network access everywhere over long distances (e.g. at remote rural areas or at sea) including both humans and machines need to be supported.

6.17.2 Requirements

The 5G system shall support the extreme long-range coverage (up to 100 km) in low density areas (up to 2 user/km²).

The 5G system shall support a minimum user throughput of 1 Mbit/s on DL and 100 kbit/s on UL at the edge of coverage.

The 5G system shall support a minimum cell throughput capacity of 10 Mbit/s/cell on DL (based on an assumption of 1 GB/month/sub).

The 5G system shall support a maximum of [400] ms E2E latency for voice services at the edge of coverage.
